adding programs to chromeos

[daniel hoggan]

Is there anyone who can tell me how to integrate my own programs into the chromium os source download (I have already updated the manifest) and if I need to modify any scripts to pull that code into the build process, and how to layer another overlay on top the chromiumos overlay.

By programs, do you mean Chrome Apps/Extensions? I don't know how it's
done on ChromeOS, but Chrome for Linux includes several .crx files in
/opt/google/chrome/default_apps.

I mean like lirc, or cdrtools. I would like to know how to integrate different programs that are not included in the usual chromeos build, and how to build a chromeos image with those programs installed.

If you just want to deploy it to a dev-mode chromebook w/ a test image, you should be able to:

1. Add the package to chromiumos-overlay

2. Run emerge-<board> <package> in the chroot

3. Use 'cros deploy' to install it

If you want to build an image, you can add it to the packages that 'src/scripts/build_pacakges' but I'm not sure what the inputs for that script are.

You probably want to read through this:
